It´s not just the stunning view, there are also other aspects I associate with Schwerin castle. This beaut is used in a formal and an informal way concurrently. On the one hand, you can visit the castle as the seat of the Landtag of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania where politicians legislate day by day. On the other […]

Rostock as a not too big city probably still has (almost) everything you can imagine and could probably need.

If you read this title, some of you will think: “Naked on the beach?! That’s outrageous. Forbidden! Report this post now! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE” Wait a minute, my little embarrassed keyboard warrior.

You have decided that you want to live in Rostock? Maybe for a semester, maybe even for the rest of your days? Then you will definitely be confronted with the following problem: Affordable housing in the cities of Germany is becoming increasingly difficult to find.
